Kentucky Targets Syracuse Guard Nait George

The Kentucky Wildcats are preparing to be active in the college basketball transfer portal this offseason, a common practice in modern college hoops. A potential target for Kentucky is Syracuse Orange point guard Nait George. Reports indicate that the Wildcats are expected to pursue George, who recently announced his intention to enter the transfer portal.

George, a 6-foot-3 guard from Canada, is entering his first season after transferring from Georgia Tech, where he spent two seasons. In his most recent 2024-25 season with Syracuse, he led the ACC with an impressive 6.5 assists per game, while also contributing 12.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals. Previously, George averaged 10.9 points, 5.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.5 steals for the Orange. While his three-point shooting at 31.8% could improve, his floor general abilities are clear, suggesting he could be a winning player with the right support. Kentucky's pursuit of George signals he may be a priority as they aim for a stronger roster next season.
